Fair play Tyrone mate, hasn't seen that

Such a strong feeling of deja vu. The writer talks about asset capitalism. I think the economic term is rentier capitalism. Sitting back and living off the income of the golden goose. At least that makes some sort of sense, if you're a beetley little weevil parasite whose station in life you owe to your accident of birth. With venkys they've long since turned the golden goose into glue. Haven't they?

Could well do. In any case, if he stays with us, he's mental. Christ knows, I wouldn't stay with us 😆

Feels like a stay of execution to me. I can't see Sammie staying, he'd be a great signing for a club coming down from the prem. And I can't see him being adequately replaced

Whilst I do think we'll stay up now, I can't see anything other than relegation next year. And next year, I don't think it will go down to the last day

I guess it's inevitable we'll stay up now. Which would just be a stay of execution. This is an absolutely piss poor squad, which will be weakened further over the summer. And if we're in the championship next season, surely we're going to get tonked right from the off? It's only our half decent early season form that's saving us at the moment. Our form since Christmas must make sobering reading?

Is it wrong that this made me laugh?

If we don't drop this season, then I think we're certain too next. On the assumption that Sammie gets sold, which seems about right

Fair play but how do you explain the Sunderland game? A fiver nil flash in the pan, it's just mental

Plymouth beat Leicester last night, didn't see that coming

I must say, how can this be the same team that took Newcastle to the limit? We piss all over Sunderland and now this. Makes me think we only turn up if we're playing higher league opposition, so there's nothing at stake and we're expected to lose anyway. Or the other team is so piss poor and on such an awful run that there's barely anything there for us to beat. The dressing room atmosphere must be terrible. Rich roll likes to all his guests, are you dragged or driven. These lads are definitely dragged. Jump in the rubber dinghy at the first opportunity and don't look back. Shocking stuff. The rot starts with the owners

Oh lord. It's my birthday today, what fresh hell is this? I'm running the London marathon for charity in eleven days, I've just been taking it easy, can't risk going down the pub or anything, don't want to get ill. I had assumed after Sunderland that the danger was over. How wrong was I? I wonder what the particular permutation of teams at the lower reaches of this division says about the premier League revolution. A number of these teams were in the top flight not so long ago. Now we're all trying to outdo each other for awfulness

If Sammie da Szmo has had a bad game today, I'm not bloody surprised. Two international games in what, five days. Then back to play for us after carrying us all season. The man just be absolutely shagged out. He's not long been a dad (second time?) also I think

Have they gone yet?

Maybe warnock to Plymouth or Huddersfield?

That's six more draws then because we aren't winning are we? Two wins in twenty now. If we don't win between now and the end of the season but somehow manage to stay up, then Sammie leaves, well start next season on a real low

What's the difference financially between selling now and selling if we get promoted. Given that the debts would have to be written off. These people must be so dense, we basically have no chance of getting promoted while they are here. It's just crackers. And if we ever did make it to the prem, they'd change their mind and decide to stay. Are they expecting to win the court case then, because there's no way wed get promoted without winning that

I think it's only fat Bazza who wants to keep us, Madame I'm sure would be happy to be rid of us, but only if there's no comebacks. Then they can happily fuck off and nawse up their next misbegotten vanity project

Maybe that's the game plan, run us into the ground, liquidate the club and bury the paper trail

Needs a shellacking upside the grid from the three bears first

Looking very jolly

It's like the witnesses knocking on your door. Best off hiding in your kitchen. Eustace is the Messiah! Behold... The point against Plymouth!

Absolutely. McFadzean had barely played before coming to us, now he's getting selected every game, he's late thirties, and expected to hold a high line. I mean it's just asking for trouble. In fact that should be on the club badge now. Blackburn rovers. Club motto-asking for trouble

Can you imagine souness standing that? Fuck me, he'd hit the roof and go straight off it. No wonder we're in the shit. It's the anyone left at the club who cares any more? What a mess.

Not quite sure how that happened, but I'm happy to leave it untouched. Much like the vol-o-vents
